Today I started a lifestyle plan called the Whole Life Challenge . It’s a pretty comprehensive plan to create some positive changes in my life using a system of checks for various things. This includes nutrition and exercise (of course), but also includes things like visualizing the future, journaling, sleep, stretching, and just living a healthy lifestyle. It’s an 8-week program, and you will hear much more about this in future entries, I’m sure.

As a pre-cursor to this new challenge, I took myself out to dinner last night. The weather was wonderful…it was patio weather! So I picked the dog up at daycare and we set out to have a burger (gasp!) and a couple of glasses of bubbly. I was enjoying the hell out of my evening until I saw my upstairs neighbor…or rather, he walked by and saw me eating by myself (to him, the dog didn’t count) and told me that it was very strange and weird that I ate alone on a Friday night. I told him that it absolutely was NOT weird, thankyouverymuch. And he turned into a total dickhead, saying things like, “No wonder you’re single…” and even MORE strange saying that I live in a shitty apartment (??!!!!), which is utterly BIZARRE considering he lives in exactly the same apartment I do (same floor plan, etc.), just one floor above me. What the hell? The dude has always been a weirdo - one time he came onto me in a very strange and gross way (talking about what I was wearing), another time he insulted my dog. Just a bizarre dude. I can’t wait to move.

Speaking of moving, last night, at the very same restaurant where I was completely offended by my upstairs neighbor, I met a guy who lives in the building where I want to move!! Yes, the one above the hotel. We got to talking and talking…for about an hour, and he gave me all kinds of tips and hints about negotiating with the apartment management. Now, the tough thing is, the building is over 90% occupied, so I don’t have a whole lot of bargaining power, but he did tell me to check out a couple of other buildings that I may even like (including the building with the bad reputation…he told me I might be very surprised). Anyway, super cool meeting this guy. And in case you’re wondering, no romantic interest - he’s married.

And as I was leaving the restaurant last night, I ran into yet another neighbor! My across-the-hall nabe who was the one who found my car parked on the street with the motor running that night a few months ago. He’s so freaking nice and has the sweetest girlfriend. Love those peeps. We laughed about that incident again, but I had to thank him profusely, again. That dude saved my hyde that night. I also told them about my freaky upstairs neighbor and told them to watch out for that weirdo.

Today I got up early and took the dog to daycare so I could go to a nearby town with some friends to see an art exhibit. The exhibit was phenomenal, but the company left a little to be desired. I should back up a bit - one of the women who actually suggested the exhibit to me lives in the nearby town, and I enjoyed her company very much. But another woman who met us at the museum is a bit of a nightmare and I always seem to forget that until we socialize together…and by then it’s always too late. Oh lord, I thought we were going to get kicked out of the museum for this woman’s SELFIE issues!! She kept getting so incredibly close to the art, trying to take selfies, that the museum staff had to tell her over and over to please not get so close! At one point, the staff member got on the two-way radio to notify someone! I seriously thought they were going to ask us to leave. It was embarrassing to say the least, but she thought it was no biggie - like she had the right to do whatever she wanted to in this museum! Ugh. What an asshole.
-
To make matters worse, I actually WORK with this woman! Long story, but she’s making my life miserable at the office. More to follow on that, I’m sure…just don’t feel like getting too deep into it right now.
-
Speaking of getting deep, something is making my skin itch and I can’t figure out what it is. I’m starting to get a rash on my face and it’s spreading down my neck and I have no idea what’s causing it. I haven’t done anything different with my routine lately, so why am I itching and getting a bit bumpy? Is it possible that this is allergies? What could it be? I’m thinking about it and scratching my face, neck and chest! What IS THIS?
-
I didn’t march today. I was there in spirit for sure. I hope beyond hope that the next four years do not become a nightmare.

I’m going to Nashville for one night next week. My boss surprised me with the announcement that I have to go to one of our BIG customers to give a presentation. Yee-haw! This means I get to see some good old girlfriends of mine! Looking forward…but need to put a presentation together.
-
I’m now itching all over. This is nuts.
Happy Saturday, Loves!
